I am looking for some info, including testimonials on who makes the best EGR delete kit. Please speak from experience if you can, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
My truck is an '07 6.0L, and I will be making this modification post engine warranty. My criteria is the usual; reliable, low maintenance, ease of installation, availability, yada yada yada.
This thread should snowball quickly... Thank you all in advance. Dennis.
I'd be more interested in buying and shipping it. I could likely take care of the install, as it would quite a trek to get to a Texas shop.
Do you have any info on this product, other than 'extremely nice'? I know you know your products, but I like to do my research. Thanks.
Not sure how you got that I wanted you to drive down to Texas for us to install it but, here is a link to their kit, I'm pretty sure they will ship it to you.
FCDP makes one of the nicest most complete kits. Getting a hot tanked clean and powdercoated intake back is a big plus, and a solid up-pipe with no scoop. customer service is great too.
i'm running it in my truck. FCDP's kit is a real nice kit with an easy in and out install. had it on my truck for 10,000+ miles now without a single problem. Their block off pipe is just as simple too, it's a pipe... don't think anyone could mess that up.
+1 for FCDP from me
we installed a liberator kit on my friends truck everything bolted right up and when we had a question we called at 6pm on a saturday and he called us back within a half an hour. fcdp makes a nice kit also and he's also a member here
I now have an FCDP up-pipe. I originally used a stock up-pipe that I had the EGR branch removed and weled shut though it maintained the expansion bellows. I made a cap for the EGR cooler entry using the removed pieces. After a few years, the expansion portion of the modified up-pipe failed and I was forced to replace it. Called FCDP and Adam shipped promptly, with the delay in arriving being Canadian Customs and Canada Post. I still have the EGR cooler installed so it is not a full delete kit.
its prob one of the most expensive egr deletes out there, but GOGO diesel out of florida modifies the intake manifold for considerably better airflow, part of their mod process deletes the egr at the same time. so while it is spendy you get 2 mods at one time
So I went to the flow bench this morning... The stock manifold would flow 159 CFM to the rear most cylinder on the driver's side (Cylinder 8). Cylinder number 6 right in front of it would flow 170CFM. It was pulling air through the manifold at 28" of water. After cutting the tops off, machining the floors and adding the taper to the ports. Cylinder number 8 now flows 247CFM. And cylinder 6 now flows 244. This is a 55% increase of available air to the rear cylinder.
Since the data before was showing a rather large bias to the front ports, I'm confident this will now balance the airflow to all cylinders. Increasing the plenum size should help the upper RPM power of the engine.
There is no longer a question about how restrictive the factory manifold is.
